I also read and reviewed Stover’s excellent first chapter in this series. (“Vineyard.”) That one was great, but I think I like this one slightly more. It’s fantasy with strong horror elements. It reminds me of Blizzard’s Diablo series, and also of the Conan the Barbarian franchise, without being simply derivative of either. A nice touch is that each chapter follows a different bad-ass character. The graphic violent and sexual content is well-written, the characters have a lot of life, and I look forward to seeing how the story continues in chapter 3!

Fun stuff, can’t wait to read more. I really want to see Stover’s work in graphic novel form in the future!!
